This edition of "Dear Rockstar" is with original Guns and Roses and current Adler's Appetite drummer Steven Adler and Enuff Z Nuff, current Adler's Appetite ( and legendary Howard Stern Show Guest) bass player, Chip Z Nuff. I caught up with them at Rock Bottom Music after their meet and greet and before their Augusta gig.
John Berret: What inspired you to start playing?
Chip Z Nuff: My fathers old records. They were always on. The Don Kirshner show was also a big inspiration.
Steven Adler:The passion and love of music and wanting to be able to create it myself. To get there I had to practice, practice, practice!
JB: How long did you play before you played your first gig?
Chip: A couple of years.
Adler: I think about 2 years.
JB: What was your favorite gig?
Adler: It was Castle Donnington ion England in 1988. We played with Iron Maiden, Kiss, Megadeth and David Lee Roth. Playing with the Rolling Stones too.
JB: Who is your favorite player?
Chip:Too many to list but I would say Paul McCartney, Jim Beacon and Geddy Lee.
Adler:Roger Taylor of Queen.
